Release to download, specified as a MATLAB release name.

  • To download the latest version of a release, which includes all updates, specify only the release name, for example R2024b.

  • To download a specific update release, specify the release name with an update number suffix, for example R2024bU4.

  • To download the initial version of a release, without any updates, specify the release name with an update 0 suffix, for example R2024bU0, R2024bGR.

Example: --release=R2026a

Destination folder for the download, specified as an absolute or relative folder path. If the destination folder does not exist, mpm creates it, including any intermediate folders.

The destination folder must not contain any product files previously downloaded using mpm download. If you specify a folder with existing product files, mpm issues an error.

Example: --destination=/home/<USER>/downloads/mathworks

Products and support packages to download, specified as a list of product and support package names, separated by spaces.

For the full list of products and support packages that mpm can download, open the input file for your release from the mpm-input-files folder on GitHub. Specify products using the format shown in the input file. For example, suppose you want to download Computer Vision Toolbox™. In the input file, the line containing this product is formatted as follows, with spaces replaced by underscores.

#product.Computer_Vision_Toolbox

Copy the text after the dot into the --products option.

--products=Computer_Vision_Toolbox

You do not need to specify required products. If a product or support package requires another product, mpm includes it in the download.

If a product or support package name includes parentheses and your command-line shell does not interpret parentheses as text, insert an escape character before each parenthesis. Use the escape character supported by your shell. For example, to download the support package Computer Vision Toolbox Model for R(2+1)D Video Classification using backslash escape characters, specify --products as follows:

--products=Computer_Vision_Toolbox_Model_for_R\(2+1\)D_Video_Classification

For information on products that mpm is unable to download, see Limitations.

Example: --products=MATLAB Simulink Fixed-Point_Designer downloads MATLAB, Simulink, and Fixed-Point Designer™.

Example: --products=Deep_Learning_Toolbox downloads Deep Learning Toolbox and its required product, MATLAB.

Platforms to download products for, specified as a list of platforms separated by spaces. The valid platforms are:

  • glnxa64 — Linux

  • win64 — Windows

  • maca64 — Mac

Specify this option when the platform of the computer used to download the products differs from the platform of the computer on which you will install the products. If you do not specify --platforms, then mpm downloads products for the platform you used to download the products. If you try to install products on a platform you did not download products for, then mpm issues an error.

To specify platforms in an input file, copy this code block into the input file. Then, uncomment the platforms you want to download products for.

## Uncomment the lines of the platforms for which you want to download products.
 
#platform.glnxa64
#platform.win64
#platform.maca64

Example: --platforms=glnxa64

Example: --platforms=glnxa64 win64 maca64

Since MPM 2026.1: The option to download products for Intel® Mac platforms is no longer available. To download products for Intel Mac platforms using mpm 2025.3 or earlier, specify the option --platforms=maci64 (command line) or platform.maci64 (input file).

Option to omit product dependencies (that is, products required by other products or support packages) from the download. Use this option to avoid downloading products that have already been downloaded or are currently installed.

For example, suppose you want to download DSP System Toolbox™ to add it to an existing installation of MATLAB. Specify the following options to download DSP System Toolbox but not its required products, MATLAB and Signal Processing Toolbox™.

--products=DSP_System_Toolbox --no-deps

To include Signal Processing Toolbox in the download, specify it in the --products list. mpm overrides the --no-deps option for this product.

--products=Signal_Processing_Toolbox DSP_System_Toolbox --no-deps

You cannot use --no-deps to omit support package dependencies (that is, support packages required by other support packages). If you try to omit a required support package from being downloaded when specifying --no-deps, mpm issues an error and lists the required support package that you need to add to the --products list.

For an example of using --no-deps when downloading and installing support packages, see Install Support Packages on Offline Computer.

Input file for configuring your download, specified as the absolute or relative path to a valid input file.

Download a template input file for your release from the mpm-input-files folder on GitHub. Using this file, you can specify the download folder and select the products and support packages you want to download without having to enter them at the command line. You must specify --inputfile without any other options.

Example: --inputfile=/home/<USER>/matlab/mpm_input_r2026a.txt

Option to accept additional vendor license agreements. You must accept vendor licenses to download certain support packages.
